Rockets KD plan is exposed, Shen Jing stays in the team, two potential stocks + first round signing

As the draft is getting closer, news of the quarrelsome Durant trading case has been frequently released in the past two days. Some insiders pointed out that the Suns are crazily accelerating the trading progress as soon as this week, and the transaction details of each company have gradually been exposed. The Spurs do not seem to be the team with the best bargaining chips. The two major potential stocks of the Rockets + the first round pick will be defeated by the Spurs. According to the news he received, Jaylen Green and Jabbarry Smith will be candidates for the Suns in negotiations between the Suns and the Rockets. Moreover, it is necessary for the Suns to reach an agreement. The reason why the Suns want to trade with the Rockets is actually not just these two players, they also want to recycle the three first-round picks in the Rockets. Without a first-round pick, the team will not have the capital to rebuild.

So the Rockets chips that the Suns want should theoretically be Xiao Jia + Green + at least one first-round pick in the future. This first round pick is likely to be not the No. 10 sign this year. To be honest, I personally think these three chips are more fragrant than the No. 14 draw + Barnes + Vassel that was circulated by the Spurs. The Rockets' first round picks have higher potential value and the young players have stronger strength.

In fact, any topic involving Durant's trading case, Xiao Jia should have a must-have chip. The first reason is that his offensive position overlaps with Durant. If Durant is there, his role will be greatly reduced next season if he doesn't take the lead. In addition, next season is the last year of his rookie contract, and he can directly pass on his contract renewal issue to his next company through Durant's trade. It must be emphasized that this is the player the Suns want, not the player the Rockets come up with. If the Rockets are unwilling to come up with, there is no saying that they are cost-effective compared to other teams.

In addition to the Rockets, according to Draftstack reporter Ary, the team also followed up on the Timberwolves' news, and the Western Conference Finals team is also sniping Durant in full force, because the team cannot guarantee that Randall will execute the player option to stay in the team. They can exchange Durant's biggest bargaining chip is Gobert, and the French center is also in line with the team building ideas of the new general manager of the Suns, Brian Greg, because the Suns hope to strengthen the center in the offseason and directly exchange for the best defense center in the league when Durant is sent, then it is obviously the most effective way to stop bleeding.

However, without Gobert and Alexander Walker leaving the team almost 100%, the defensive system that the Timberwolves relied on in recent years may be greatly hit, and they may have to force Durant to play center on the defensive end in the team. Then the overall effect may be no different from the Suns in the past two years. Although Edwards is definitely a more comprehensive perimeter defender against Booker, he can't expect him to cover all the defensive work alone.

Judging from the current news from Shams, in addition to the Rockets, Spurs and Timberwolves, the Knicks and the Heat are the two remaining buyers. The latest news from the Heat is that Kyle Weal, who was selected as the second team of the Best Rookie this year, may be the bargaining chip that the Heat are willing to make, but compared with buyers with odds leading the Spurs, there is very little news about the Heat.
